Dreamweaver Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 A recent nasty ice and snowstorm got me thinking about a crazy activity that many do. A friend of mine did this after snowfall in his highschool parking lot, and got ticketed by the police! There are several names that I know of calling the activity of driving around in tight circles on a slippery surface, usually ice. Cutting cookies Doing donuts Whipping shitties The one that I use is the last one, whipping shitties. I looked it up online and found an interesting [url="http://cfprod01.imt.uwm.edu/Dept/FLL/linguistics/dialect/staticmaps/q_77.html"]Harvard study[/url]. Others have commented in blogs that whipping shitties is the funniest phrase they've ever heard. Is it really that funny? or am I just a crazy northern midwesterner?

Snarf Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Donuts or fishtailing. Nomenclature depends on the situation and the manner of rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamweaver Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 Is the censoring supposed to work? Ok, I see, if you remove "ties" from shitties it'll turn to another word. Why wouldn't the fiddler make it shinobities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
